Do we want the club to compete or not?

For a normal pint it is 4 quid, as explained by MC, the extras are to do with a higher quality drink and/or drinking it in the corporate bar.

For a sporting venue the prices are what I would expect.

Don’t worry, I’ve been called nuts plenty of times in the last 6 years

Haha this thread appears every year... if you're not happy with the price then don't drink it. £5 is the most I would personally pay for a pint but it's definitely around the price I would expect to pay at a sporting event because unless you do what I did last year at Huddersfield and get absolutely bolloxed, they're not going to make any money by offering it are they as the majority will only purchase 1-2 drinks maximum. It cost me an extra £30 on top of my match day ticket but it was my choice to do so.

A deal might not be a bad shout though, 3 for the price of 2 maybe something like that on bottles?

Drinks / food within an event venue will always come at a premium. They've a captive large crowd maybe 20 times a year maximum and need to pull maximum revenue from that crowd. Don't drink anymore myself so usually its one or two Bovrils for me. Suspect the mark up on the hot drinks far exceeds the beer after the ridiculous duties.

£5 a pint is ridiculous, without going into clubs you don't pay £5 a pint in Leeds!

You do at Headingley for the cricket and it's dispensed on an industrial scale into soft plastic glasses so by the time it gets into your hand there's not much more than a half pint left. And they queue for miles to buy this without complaint.
